About the event
Presented as part of Newark Pride Fest 2026, “Pleasure, Please” invites participants to explore HIV prevention through a pleasure-centered approach that celebrates sexuality, intimacy, and overall well-being. Presented by ViiV Healthcare, this engaging and thought-provoking experience challenges traditional conversations about sexual health by focusing on what helps people thrive, not just what puts them at risk.
Through guided discussion and interactive reflection, participants will examine the connection between pleasure, safety, trust, communication, and healthier sexual experiences. The program emphasizes that people often experience greater pleasure when they feel respected, informed, empowered, and secure with their partner or partners.
By centering joy, agency, and wellness, “Pleasure, Please” creates a welcoming space for honest dialogue while promoting practical tools for HIV prevention and sexual health.
